Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.-Unknown

Because I could not stop for Death,He kindly stopped for me.-Emily Dickinson

Still glides the Stream, and shall for ever glide; While we, the brave, the mighty, and the wise, We Men, who in our morn of youth defied The elements, must vanish;óbe it so! Enough, if something from our hands have power To live, and act, and serve the future hour; And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know -William Wordsworth

Life must go on;I forget just why.-Edna St. Vincent Millay

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."-Oscar Wilde

Martha L. WhittingtonI was logging headstones in the Dunnegan Grove Cemetery in Vernon County, Missouri and ran across Martha L. Whittington and it appears she is the daughter of Elmer O. and Rosa Mae Loy Whittington. I created a memorial for her and tried to find her parents and it seems she may be a descendent of yours? Her memorial # is 141768896 and if this is a family member, please let me know and I will be happy to transfer ownership to you.

Hannah WhittingtonBarnesville is approx. 13-15 miles from Summerfield. Hannah's headstone is at the far right portion of the cemetery, in the old section. I've been meaning to go back and retake a photo because the position of the sun can make such a difference. I'll do that & if it's still not a good capture, I'll upload the best I can get.

RE: James WhittingtonIn a nearby cemetery I did find the gravesite marked " James Whittington and Rebecca Griffith, parents of James Whittington."This is in the Friendship Methodist Church, in case you want to look further.

Samuel BowerSeems like I did some research on this fellow or someone with the same name. Names In Stone has some dates, but we discovered the location on their grid was incorrect. Here is the URL if you want to investigate the dates:http://www.namesinstone.com/ViewMap.aspx?deceasedId=559781

Rose's and ThrapsI was able to find Margaret and Alva Rose's marker and photograph it today for you. Also came across some Thraps a Samuel and his wife, not sure if they're any relation to Sarah Thrap, Alva's mother. I am trying to finish photographing the whole cemetery and came across them today. There may be more, but I was only able to be out there for a couple hours today (too windy and cold!).
